ScopeLock — landing page clarity scorecard.

Scored the day ScopeLock launched on Hacker News, straight off our public free score tool — same 10-point grid as a paid audit, no contact with the founder.

81/100 Above the 70 clarity threshold. Fast, clean, and one hero-copy tweak away from naming its audience up front.

01Friction map

Three things to fix first

Ranked the same way every paid audit ranks issues — by what a stranger notices first.

#1

Hero clarity — 7/10

“Stop scope creep before it eats your margins.” names the outcome but not who it’s for.

Fix: Add “for freelancers & agencies” to the subheadline.

#2

Next step — 7/10

“Start free trial” (pricing CTA) has no expectation text near the button.

Fix: Add “7-day free trial, cancel anytime” under it.

#3

Audience — 7/10

“For agencies and freelancers protecting every project.” only appears in the pricing section, not the hero.

Fix: Move that line into the hero subheadline.
